Intro
Independently of the group in Texas, we also came to this idea in a discussion during lunch: the classical Edge Detection problem. Rather simple in computer science, but hopefully new to the biology community (well, it seems it isn't).
Principle
In computer vision you typically want to make out the contours of an object or region. At the contour or edge something changes significantly, i.e. there is a strong gradient of color or lighting. Edge Detection algorithms make it possible to find those changes.
